Prato Bakery JC Heights — Restaurant in Jersey City

I visited your establishment today, November 1st, 2024, around 2 PM. I ordered a latte, and honestly, it was the worst I’ve had in a long time. I didn’t have high expectations, just wanted a decent latte. The person who made it seemed to have no idea how to make one properly. Their technique for steaming the milk was very poor.
